Absolutely! We strive for this platform to be a reliable community resource where everyone is informed on everything Black and Black-Mixed affairs. Whether it’s art, culture, events, accomplishments or press releases, we want to keep the community in the loop! Please note that submission doesn’t guarantee promotion. If you want to keep us posted on anything, click here or email us directly at bumpkin.files@gmail.com

Spread the word about us. Consider us for projects and exhibitions. We will be taking donations in future. By supporting BF, you’re helping sustain a platform built to reshape and expand the way we celebrate Black British-ness, as well as the wider diaspora. Your support makes it possible for me to continue building something that lasts. You can contribute here.

This is something we want to do in the future. We highly value offline community.
